Hi there,

I'm looking at roughly the same time in October for my surgery. I have to make weight at my last dietician appointment next week.

I'd love to join you on your journey!

Any interest in adding a 3rd? My surgery date is a little before yours on 10/6, but I could still use buddies doing this around the same time as me. I'm not really nervous yet, but I did just get my date today and it's slowly sinking in that that is in like 18 days. Whew! I've been at this for about 6 months and delayed surgery for the fall due to work and vacations I had scheduled.

Hi there!! I'm so excited about this I can't even stand it. I'm the most impatient person in the world so I'm trying to keep my mind occupied in the mean time.

Hi there,

HOW did you lose 51 lbs??

I started loosely back in January. I got really serious in April when I did my intro meeting. They told me to eat 1700 calories a day and to get moving. I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories and began wearing a Nike FuelBand every day then also committed to working out 4x a week in any way I wanted - swimming, walking, whatever. I had to change a lot, but figured that would be my life post-surgery anyway. Now though still very nervous like everyone else :-) It's easy to lapse so even now takes work to be on top of it.

I had the sleeve surgery done on 8/18. The first few weeks are rough only having liquids and feeling hungry but now I'm feeling great I'm just 5 weeks out and I'm down 30lbs.

What kind of surgery are you having?

Hello All!! My surgery was October 20. I was n Hosp 5 days. I'm over the burping belching thing. Yes it's a bit rough. I'm not in pain so much as discomfort. My follow-up was November 4. I was allowed to go on to phase 3. However my body seems to want to stay n phase 2. Maybe I'm not chewing enough or eating fast but the smallest amount n I feel yucky. The food stays down but I'm tired n bit weak. HELP!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
